By John Nova Lomax
Oct 11, 2012

At first, the death of six-year-old Taylor Syring seemed like just another example of a tragedy that is all too common on Texas beaches: a young child gets a little too far out in the surf, a parent gets distracted and the child drowns. But almost right from the start,...
